election, when outrageous stories about endorsements of donald trump went viral on social media. some of these stories were read by millions. but none were true. now mps will investigate how to disrupt the economics of fake news, and what tools users of social media need to separate reality from lies. it's a big and growing problem, and when in america, during the presidential election, we saw a scenario where the spreading of fake news stories was reaching bigger audiences than legitimate news stories, that's got to be a big threat to our media and our democracy. the fake news inquiry will examine the impact of fake news on traditionaljournalism and the implications for public life, advertising and whether the drive for clicks is fuelling the spread of fake news, and social—media platforms and how young people who use them are influenced by unreliable information. as fake news rises up the political agenda, the question now is what to do about it. one answer is fact—checking organisations like this one. it looks likely that their role in the fight against fake news

is about to get bigger. full fact is a charity in which a team of analysts verify claims and counterclaims online. this month, they received funding from google to support their work. in years gone by, traditional media could devote greater resources to sifting truth from falsehood. but with their business models under pressure, new organisations are emerging to fulfil a smaller role. i think we're at a pivotal moment. we've just had a year in which everybody‘s realised, "hang on, this is a really big problem." and for the first time, all of the people who could play a role in solving it are really thinking about what is their role. this year will tell us whether they stand up to that challenge or not. the tech giants who control so much of the information in our lives today are waking up to their responsibilities. for all that mps may investigate the problem of fake news, they know that ultimately it is the likes of facebook and google who will develop

any long—term solution. amol rajan, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. inside and outside the us, there is a pro at those immigration restrictions, we will hear from the most senior muslim diplomat ever to come out of the us, once tipped to be secretary of state and a donald trump. what is his reaction to his president's executive order? here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jessica creighton. here's what we've got coming up tonight. sutton united get a dream match—up against 12—time fa cup winners arsenal at the emirates. hull city midfielder ryan mason is discharged from hospital a week after fracturing his skull. its friends reunited in the premier

league. van aanholt teams up with his former boss at crystal palace and bryan oviedo and gibsonjoin up with their old manager at sunderland. and we'll tell you why tens of thousands of runners at the great scottish run have been left disappointed after a twilight cycle around the course. good evening. lots to bring you tonight, but let's start with football. the draw for the fifth round of the fa cup took place earlier, and it threw up a real david versus goliath—style match up. the lowest ranked side left in the competition, sutton united will host one of the most successful teams the fa cup has ever seen. our reporter rebecca hanley has more. cheering

as cheers go they don't get much bigger than this. sutton now have premier league giants arsenal firmly in their sights. a win against the gunners would make cup history but just playing against them will mean a huge win for the club's finances. it's still sinking in but that is an unbelievable draw for us, home to a clu b unbelievable draw for us, home to a club like arsenal is what dreams are made of. there is such a buzz around the town and a few of the lads obviously coming through the arsenal academy, it is a great chance for them to play against the team where it started for them. we are buzzing. sutton will be hoping for more of these kind of celebrations, their 1-0 these kind of celebrations, their 1—0 win against leeds in the fourth round, and now the chance to take an even better scalp. it would mean a lot. obviously the prestige of a big clu b lot. obviously the prestige of a big club coming here and a potential moneyspinner, tv coverage etc, it

would be great. is the greatest type this club has ever had. no match could be better. this is epic beyond all belief. whatever the outcome of debris's match sutton will be talking about this matchup for years to come. rebecca hanley, bbc news. so here's the draw in full. other non—league side lincoln also face premier league opposition, as they travel to burnley. fulham face tottenham. blackburn take on the holders manchester united. middlesbrough host oxford. after knocking out liverpool, wolves now have the challenge of runaway premier league leaders chelsea. huddersfield against manchester city. and milwall host either derby or leicester. but, there's no doubting the tie of the round. nowadays there are quite pampered millionaires, these premier league footballers, so they will not be used to the facilities they will get at sutton. sutton will lay on a lovely spread and make them welcome, iam sure lovely spread and make them welcome, i am sure but arsenal will be out of

their comfort zone and it's a big competition for us and think of the season. competition for us and think of the season. they beat southampton 5—0 at the end dumb at weekend and that shows the seriousness with which arsene wenger takes the competition and he has won it any time is reached the final. the young players seem to rise to the occasion for him in the fa cup. it is not easy for sutton but it's the exact draw they would have wanted, one of the big boys at their home patch. for some of these plays it could be their one big chance at the big time, they will not want to let it slip by. hull city's ryan mason has been released from hospital following his horrific injury earlier this month. he suffered a fractured skull after a clash of heads he suffered a fractured skull after a clash of heads with gary cahill against chelsea. but his club have tonight said he's been discharged from st mary's hospital in london and will continue his recovery at home. with the transfer window closing tomorrow, sunderland have had a busy day, bringing in bryan oviedo and darron gibson. the pair team up with manager david moyes once again, after working together at everton. oviedo has signed until 2020, while gibson's is an 18—month contract. and earlier, sunderland sold patrick

van aanholt to crystal palace for an undisclosed fee. the dutch left—back has signed a four—and—a—half—year contract. the 26 year old will be reunited with sam allardyce, having previously worked with the manager at the stadium of light. hopefully his impact is instant. he was instrumental in ourfight was instrumental in our fight to stay out... or get out of the bottom three at sunderland last year. and, of course, not just three at sunderland last year. and, of course, notjust as a defender but as a very good attacking full—back with his assists and his goals. meanwhile, leicester striker leonardo ulloa has made his intentions quite clear, after handing in a transfer request last week. ulloa tweeted this, in the past hour. "with all respect for leicester fans, i feel betrayed by ranieri and let down by the club. i will not play again for them".

this comes after the manager ranieri said this earlier. yes, i know he is very anxious but we don't change our mind. for us he's important, we don't want to sell him. you don't want to sell him? also i don't want because we have just cilla —— slimani as the target man and i need another target man. to rugby union and the six nations. where england propjoe marler will be fit for their tournament opener against france on saturday. the forward is back in full training, after making a quick recovery from a fractured leg. great credit has to go tojoe marler, he's been diligent and done everything asked of him to encourage the healing process and make sure he is in the best physical shape possible to make sure he is ready to play test match rugby, and that's what he has done. a post—mortem examination of 2015 grand national winner many clouds, following a success at cheltenham on saturday, has concluded he died

as a result of a rare pulmonary haemorrhage. vets say that the horse was suffering from no significant underlying health issues, and despite receiving immediate care from racecourse vets at the time, he was unable to be saved. the former british cycling coach who delivered a mystery package to sir bradley wiggins during a race has been invited to give evidence at a doping inquiry. simon cope travelled from manchester in 2011 to hand a parcel to the team sky doctor richard freeman on the final day of the criterium de dauphine in france. mps have said they are concerned with the evidence heard in previous hearings — the team's principal, sir dave brailsford, has previously said the package contained a legal decongestant. last year's great scottish run wasn't quite as great as the organisers would have hoped, with some competitors said with some competitors saying they thought the half marathon course was shorter

than it should be. the route was re—measured over the weekend. and it turns out, they were right. john mcmanus has more on the story. last—minute checks before four officials get on their bikes to measure the length of the great scottish run. the early hours of sunday morning the best time to do it with a police escort. they cycled the whole route. i caught up with them at glasgow's
